Business Security: The Guide to Protection Layers 🛡️
In the modern cyber world, protecting your business isn't a single "product" — it's a combination of layers that complement each other. Here's the spec that will turn your office into a digital fortress.
💡 Why do you need so many layers?
Hackers always look for the weakest link. If one layer is breached (say, an employee clicks a link), the next layer (like EDR) needs to stop the damage in real time.
🛠️ Our Active Protection Tools
Sophos Intercept X (EDR): Advanced endpoint protection that detects ransomware and stops it before it encrypts a single file.
Sophos Firewall (XGS): The network gatekeeper — automatically isolates infected machines and inspects encrypted traffic.
Network Access Control (NAC): Prevents unauthorized devices from connecting to office network ports without prior approval.
Identity Verification (Duo MFA): Even if an employee's password is stolen, they still have to approve the login on their personal phone.
💾 Backup & Resilience Strategy (BCP)
The best way to keep your data safe from ransomware and hardware failure is implementing the "3-2-1 rule" across two circles:
Local backup: Fast recovery of files and servers in case of a hardware failure or human error.
Cloud backup (Immutable): An isolated, locked, external copy that cannot be deleted or encrypted by attackers.
Replication: Real-time server duplication to a secondary site to be back up within minutes of a crash.
SaaS backup: Mandatory external backup of your Office 365 mailboxes and Google Drive.
